That is one HELLATIOUSLY overstocked tank dude, My SW knowledge is very limited but even I know triggers and tangs do not belong in 25G tanks.

That tank is a disaster waiting to happen that is disguised with denial and/or wishful thinking IMO.

Gas mileage isn't everythingOIIIIIIIOLack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

A beautiful disaster is still a disaster

Yes, I know the fish are going to outgrow the tank and it's overstocked. That definitely crossed my mind, too, but it is beautiful none-the-less.

Wow, Really?

It's the marine equivalent of Koi in a bowl or keeping a litter of great danes in a shoebox. How badly it is overstocked can only be measured by degrees of magnitude.

I'm guessing one of two things will happen long before the larger fish become stunted, 1) that single damsel will claim a part of the tank as his terrirtory and end up stressing the other fish to death, or 2) as the stinging coral continue to grow closer together, they will kill each other off releasing toxins in the tank crashing it.

That is, assuming this tank is left to develop on its own. It looks really nice, but as 850R has stated, its also a time boam waiting to go off.

If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease."Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette.
